When I am a full-time teacher I will most likely not "post" rules around my classroom. I don't feel as though posting rules in a classroom is an effective way to manage and control the class. Istink that most of these rules are so incredibly obvious and students should know already that they shouldn't act in that manner. The main rules that I will enforce when I am a teacher include making sure that the students are attentive, respectful, and that they try their hardest. I want to create an environment where students don'tthreat afraid to try their hardest, take chances, and go out on a limb.
I agree with many of the guidelines for student engagement that we're presented in the blog. By relating material to students lives, challenging them in class, and allowing students to work together towards a common goal they will be much more likely to try their hardest and be engaged in class.
In order to engage my students I try my best to create lessons that include several different sections. I feel as though if students do one thing for too long they will getboarded very easily. I like to change it up, keep them on their feet, and try to keep them motivated during each segment of the class. I also try to be as enthusiastic and engaging as possible when I aminstructions them.
Good points. Am I correct in thinking that you connect Ss "trying their hardest" with the nature of the assignments they get? (Sidenote: Try to cultivate the habit of eliminating typos!) - fogleman
